the signing Of the bill, introduced BY
Haley and Voorhees,, to annex the

"pocket veto" that bill, he would never

Our dream is at an end, and we are
awake to the truth that it was, only, a
dream. We have returned from our
phantom pilgrimage. In our iufantlle

that We came back.ousted. We arc still,
bodily, in Idaho. We didn't fly, q
much as we Acw. We find ourselves,
still, surrounded by portentious, tan
gibility Of real substance. The "Boise
ring" is no "inanimate corpus" 1t is
hugely alive. The Governor has moi
retired to the shades Of declining years.
He is still on the "quarter deck" and
we in the "forecastle" sick. The
Statesman can "anp" our rooster, and
still have him right side up, for us, until
next fall. We can continue to do the

Robbing Immigrants.

An investigation is being made of the
charges against the Commissioners of Immi-
grafton at Castle Garden, New York About
300 000immigrants land at the Garden every
year, aud it is alleged that all sorts of
schemes are adopted to get their money
away from them Fees, for which there is
no authority whatever, are charged them
for all sorts of services
Complaints have been made frequently of
the abuses at the Garden, but for some
reason or other little attention has been
paid to them. The immigrants have no in
tiuential friends to plead their cause, and
doubtless the great majority do not know
that they are being robbed. AS a rule they
haven't much money, and hence the filchings
from them are small, but what little of their
savings is taken is a great deal to them
One of the agents of the White Star line
testified that he had seen immigrants CON
stantly compelled to pay fees to
employees of Castle Garden in order
to get their baggage, and in
reply to question of the examiner he said
he considered a fee of this sort blood
money" The New York World says that
UilS expression OF Agent ANDERSON caused a
genuine sensation in the room where the
examination was being held. sit struck"
says the World, "the keynote of the whole
treatment of immigrants under the manage
ment of the worthless and unfaithful Com
missioners. There is blood-money in the
unjust charges and swindling inpositions of
the railroad pool; blood-money in the ex-
tortions practiced on the unfortunate immi-
grant in the baggage delivery run by a
machine politician; blood-money in the loaf
of bread sold to the immigrant at the lunch
counter at double the price 1t could be pur-
chased for outside the Garden; blood money
in the beer for which the brother of fugi-
tive Doodle Alderman is allowed to charge
double price. From the time the immigrant
sets his foot in Castle Garden to the moment
he is shorn and released, blood-money is OK
torted from him at every turn by the pools,
the rings and tho employees"
Doubtless these abuses at Castle Garden
have been going on for years, and the i'm
migrants have been robbed in the shape of
illegitimate fees TO the extent of hundreds
of thousands of dollars. 1t is difficult,
indeed, TO keep track of all the rascals who
are in Office.

The American Party.

It is not probable that the proposed Amer
lean party will become as great power in
| politics as some of its promoters appear TO
think. There are doubtless a great many
people in different parts of the country who
are opposed to permitting foreign born citi-
zens to exercise as much influence in politi-
cal affairs as they do, but the number that
! is ready to join a new political organiza-
ton, whose object is to antagonize citizens
of that class, is hardly great enough to
make such an organization formidable.
Those who remember the old Know Nothing
party, whose cry was America for Ameri-
cans" and who recall the history of that
organization in Baltimore and some other
cities will hardly view with favor any SINH
lar organization.
The convention to organize an American
party that is called to meet In Philadelphia
next month will, no doubt, be very well at
tended, and platform may be adopted that
will contain some admirable features. The
central idea of the new party is understood
to be the restriction of immigration. There
can be no reasonable objection to a restric-
ton of that kind, provided it is not intended
to shut out immigrants who are desirable,
and who make good citizens The
feeling has been gaining strength for some
time that it would be better for the coun-
try If our doors were closed against certain
classes of immigrants. Indeed, both of the
great political parties have taken steps to
give expression TO this feeling, and it is not
improbable that there will be some legisla-
ton on the subject by Congress next winter
The immigrants we don t want are those
who quickly find their way into our aims
houses, prisons and asylums, and also those
who do not appreciate the advantages which
our institutions offer to those who are
anxious to better their condition. We have
no place for Anarchists, Socialists, dyna-
miters and conspirators, but we should con-
tinue to welcome the honest, earnest and
healthy people who are capable of taking
care Of themselves, and whose purpose is to
become Americans in every respect I'm
migrants of this kind have contributed
toward making this country what it is,
and they will contribute great deal more.
1t is said that the American party has
adherents in every State in the Union, and
that it already numbers a million and
half of voters. That statement will hardly
be accepted unless it is supported by
good deal of convincing evidence. In
fact, the only evidence that will be entirely
satisfactory is that which is obtained
through the ballot box. 1t is stated that
the new party will participate in the next
national election. If it does it will then be
seen whether, in the estimation of the peo-
pie, there is a need for such party.
